"Your Excellency, please rest assured that we have strengthened the deployment of troops on the Caribbean Sea. If the Germany people want to invade Caribbean Sea, they will definitely get a bloody blow. In addition, we have also strengthened the defense of the Florida Peninsula and southern United States. Even if Germany The people captured Caribbean Sea with heavy losses, and they can't even think of landing on the United States mainland. If necessary, we can even lay mines in the Florida Strait to completely prevent the Germany people from landing." General Marshall confidently reported to President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt nodded, although the situation seemed a bit critical now. But he is quite satisfied with the disposal plan of General Marshall and others. Germany indeed had the upper hand in this war, to the point where United States was almost out of breath. However, it is undoubtedly impossible for Germany to defeat United States like this. Even without the navy, United States still has a strong army and Army Air Corps. They still have enough strength to fight German military again.
What's more, this war will be fought in United States's homeland. No matter which aspect, United States occupies a very big advantage. This is why President Roosevelt is full of confidence in the next war.
"Where is Atlantic Defensive Line? How long will it take for it to be stable?" President Roosevelt asked.
With the navy nearly wiped out, President Roosevelt hopes to build a steel line of defense at United States East Coast to completely resist German offensive. In that case, the safety of United States will be guaranteed. As long as we can drag it on until Germany people can no longer fight. By then, they would be able to achieve a decent peace.
Although, President Roosevelt's previous goal was to kill Germany and snatch the throne of world hegemon from under Germany's butt. But the current situation is not good for them, so President Roosevelt's goal is to hope that United States can continue to exist. Otherwise, once United States is completely defeated by Germany, then United States may not be able to continue to exist.
"Your Excellency, in a month at most, Atlantic Defensive Line will be able to initially acquire combat effectiveness. Soon, winter will come. By then, the Germany people will not brave the severe cold to launch an attack. And we still have enough time to stabilize the defense line. The longer the time is delayed, the better it will be for us!" General Marshall continued.
"The fate of General Marshall and United States is in the hands of the Army. I hope that the Army can win this battle. The entire Republic of America will do its best to support you." President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." General Marshall nodded heavily.
General Marshall can also understand that at the last moment of life and death, United States the whole society indeed burst out with the most powerful force. Young people from all over the country are joining the army very enthusiastically. Major arsenals are working in three shifts to produce various weapons and equipment. Especially after the supply to the navy was stopped, a large amount of resources were used in the production of weapons and equipment for the army, which caused US Army and Army Air Corps to quickly receive weapons and equipment. Now their headache is no longer the lack of weapons and equipment, but the lack of personnel. After all, although there are many people joining the army, there are only some technical branches. It also takes enough time to cultivate.
But even so, General Marshall also believes that the current US Army is becoming more and more powerful. Their military strength is getting stronger and stronger, which will become an important guarantee for them to defeat Germany.
"Your Majesty, Americans were really frightened. They urgently sent troops to reinforce the islands on the Caribbean Sea, and also strengthened the defense of the southern part of United States. It can be said that Americans has invested all its main forces in the south." Field Marshal Manstein had a smile on his face.
After Germany's intelligence agency learned about United States's movements, German military's generals were very happy. They increasingly believe that although the next landing battle has not yet begun, they have already won most of it.
Oscar nodded. "Americans has been mobilized, so it is more likely that we will capture Newfoundland. How are the preparations for the troops?"
"Your Majesty, General Busch has already led three Marine Division to set off. The other two Marine Division are still confusing Americans in the waters near Bermuda Islands. After the attack on Newfoundland begins, they will immediately Kitakami reinforcements. 1st Army Corps, who is also in Bermuda Islands, will also immediately take the ship Kitakami. It only takes two days for them to arrive at Newfoundland." Field Marshal Manstein said.
Britain people did not pay attention to the defense of Newfoundland, and they still only deployed three Infantry Division on Newfoundland. Even if the first batch of Marine Corps landed only three divisions, it would be enough to defeat them.
"Home Fleet will provide fire support for Marine Corps's landing on Newfoundland. In addition, the Capital Ships formation of Mediterranean Fleet and Atlantic Fleet will also rush to Newfoundland one day in advance. However, I am afraid that it will not be until the second battle begins. The genius can arrive. However, the Britain people have no decent defense on the Newfoundland. Therefore, the Carrier-based aircraft of the Home Fleet plus the firepower of the cruiser are enough to provide sufficient fire support to the Marine Corps." Marshal Raeder also said.
Although there is no gun from Capital Ships to provide fire support for Marine Corps, the cruiser's main gun is the same. As long as they don't attack those fortresses, the heavy cruiser 210mm Main Gun is still very scary. It's enough to tear any enemy into pieces. What's more, Carrier-based aircraft's fire support is more direct. Home Fleet's full deployment was enough to ensure that Marine Corps received sufficient fire support when attacking Newfoundland.
"Is the Air Force ready?" Oscar asked.
"Your Majesty, the Air Force will urgently deploy a group of engineers to Newfoundland to expand the airport on Newfoundland. Then build more airports on the island. However, the Air Force's engineering force is limited, so it needs support from the Navy and Army. Once the airport is built, we can take off planes directly from China to Newfoundland. Then use Newfoundland as a base to start strategic bombing of United States." Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said.
Compared with the Navy and Army, the Air Force entered the battle a little later. There is nothing we can do about this. To deploy the air force to the front line, we need airports. Especially the heavy-duty Bomber requires a regular airport. Building an airport takes time. Fortunately, Germany has everything ready.
